How do I fix an RH2022 project renaming SNAFU?

[LonTheWriter]

I was asked to re-name an RH2022 project, so I did: went to the directory, found the project and renamed it. However, now I get this:

Any way I can make it valid?

Thanks!

Put it back to what it was first. Then you should be able to open the project. Go to the File menu and change the project name there.

Hi, Peter!

Thanks so much for the quick response. Okay, I renamed the file back to what it was, but when I tried to open it, I got that same error message.

I just noticed that there is a space after the Project folder (ProCon ); when I delete that space, I get a message that says:

"The source and destination filenames are the same."

Should I try to change that name?

You got this message at what point? 

[LonTheWriter]

With my cursor on the Project file, I right-click, select Rename from the menu, delete the space, hit enter. Message appears.

Just to be clear: File menu -> Project Settings, change Project Title?

You must not rename the rhpj file outside of RoboHelp. Restore it in File Explorer to what it was. Double click it and then it should open.

With the project open, change the Project Title to what you want.
